Autotext item should retain paragraph formatting in effect at the.

[NickPiazza]

I notice that when I add an autotext item, and then later retrieve that item,
it does not retain the paragraph formatting I had applied at the time I added
it. For example, I create a 3-column table (tbl3), set the left and right
indents for all columns to 0" and set the before spacing to 0.4 line and the
after space to 0 pt. I then add that autotext item. Later, when I activate
that autotext item, the left indent has defaulted to 0.25" and the after
spacing has defaulted to 6pt instead of retaining what I had previously set.

If you include paragraph marks in your AutoText entry it will retain the
formatting but that formatting will be based on styles. If the styles are
already in your document, the current definition will apply rather than the
one that was used when you stored your AutoText. See the Include Text
tutorial at http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm for examples of how this
works.
